Cologne 2013:
the structure of this lightweight plywood chair by Eric and Johnny
Design Studio of Berlin was inspired by I-beams used in the construction
industry
The Beams Chair is made from two grades of thin plywood, which is strong
in both directions when compressed from the sides but weaker across its
surface. To overcome this, the designers placed the components with
their layers at right-angles to each other.
"By combining the two wood sheets so as to offer perpendicular wooden structures and build the I-Beam structure, there are two strong dimensions so the anti-twisting ability and compression strength as well as the stability of the chair are tremendously improved," they say.
The legs are laminated while the seat and backrest are made of thin
sheets, simply curved into the shape of the frame. "Such design saves
the molding cost of production and reduces the weight of the chair," the
designers add.
